Servings 6 servings
Calories 54kcal
Equipment
- High-powered blender *I use a Vitamix
Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen mixed berries *I used a raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, and blackberry blend
- 1¼ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice *6 large lemons
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup Splenda *regular zero-calorie granulated, or granulated sweetener of choice
- 2-3 cups sparkling water *plus more for serving on the side
- ice to fill the glasses
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, blend the frozen berries, fresh lemon juice, 1 cup of water, and Splenda until smooth. *Straining the mixture through a fine mesh sieve after blending is optional. If you're using a powerful blender, it will grind up most of the seeds.
- Pour the mixture into a 2-quart pitcher.
- Add 2 cups of sparkling water and stir. Taste and add more sparkling water, if needed.
- Pour into ice-filled glasses and serve.
Notes
- I usually make the drink with 2 cups of sparkling water and serve it with sparkling water bottles on the side. This way, everyone can adjust the taste to their liking.
- For a smoother, seed-free texture, strain the blended berry mixture through a fine mesh sieve before adding the sparkling water.
- If not serving right away, chill the berry mixture separately from the sparkling water, then combine just before serving to keep it fizzy.
